    5.8kWh / 1.45 O's here today. Better than expected to be honest, though it's pretty much been cloudy with some hazy sunny spells.
    I think I need at least 7 or 8 kWh per day to hit monthly PVGIS target :D

    Interesting day today, got 2.46 Os so beat Merlin .... somehow?:huh:

    But the really weird thing is that the WNW exploded into action with 6.6kWh or 3.3 Os (previous best this year was 4.6kWh). Almost a perfect day for it, with a white/grey start (maximising reflection in the morning) then a sunny afternoon.

    But overall, gen has slipped, and now predicting 97% of target, but forecast for the next week is good, so .... ;)

    I have been away from the Midlands for a couple of days in Crawley and then Greenford. All seemed dull in the South East. But things were slightly better back at home at 2.33 Os today.
